The Eco-Ride Roller Coaster


http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/487119_116283918536526_1358545744_n.jpgRecently I read an article in New Scientist called 'Ride to Work on a Roller Coaster' which was based on a new creation in  Chiba, Japan. This creation is called the Eco-ride, it is basically an energy saving train and roller coaster in one! I really like this idea of going to work or school not in a car or bus but on a roller coaster. 

How fun and cheap would that be? However, for some reason I doubt this idea will catch on to the country I live in, which is England. I do hope this idea is taken on board for England or maybe even the whole of Britain for many reasons including the fact that it is cheap, eco friendly, fun, and you can arrive at work in style!

Here is a helpful link to check out more about the Eco-Ride in more detail:
